The Three(only) who escaped from Alcatraz

Only Three escaped from Alcatraz.
Frank Lee Morris, Clarence Anglin and John Anglin ,Escapees from Alcatraz.

A thriller.

The film,The Great Escape starring Clint Eastwood was also good.

The escape is as good as Papillon‘s, though the latte one is moe appealing and he escape was confirmed and the escapee wrote the Book.

‘The prison mug shots of convicts Frank Lee Morris, Clarence Anglin and John Anglin in both their younger and older years. Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin, all serving time for bank robbery, vanished from the prison in San Francisco Bay on the night of June 11, 1962. Although many historians think it’s likely they perished in the frigid treacherous currents surrounding the maximum-security island prison, their bodies were never found and some believe it’s possible they made it to freedom.

The June 1962 Alcatraz escape was an attempt by American criminals Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris to escape Alcatraz Island, one of the United States’ most famous prisons. They burrowed out of their cells, climbed a ventilation shaft onto the roof and then climbed down and left the island on a makeshift raft. Despite an extensive search, the men were never heard from again and their fates remain unknown.

    My take is they must have died in the treacherous currents.There is no reason as to why they have not contacted their families ( vague phone call or Christmas card is no proof).

      You may be right.
      Also they might have escaped and kept quiet as in the case of escaped Nazis.
